MONTEREY >> The Lighthouse Avenue tunnel will be open Tuesday night because work was completed faster than expected.

City transportation officials closed the tunnel overnight on Monday for manhole repairs and demolition of the Custom House Plaza fountain. The scheduled repairs were completed by Tuesday morning, and crews determined that removal of the fountain would not require a tunnel closure.

The city had originally planned for two overnight closures.

The fountain removal project will continue through mid-December. Custom House Plaza will remain open to the public with full access to the waterfront and Old Fisherman’s Wharf.
